Thanks guys! I also picked up Flash Boys and I am almost done with it. Awesome read so far and its also exciting to follow whats currently going on with Brad Katsuyama and the senate. Great time to read the book.
I also picked up this book called The Dao of Capital written by Mark Spitznagel:
Black Swan recommended Ready Player One to me last week. I finished it in two days. If you love the '80’s (and you damn well should) then it’s a must-read.
All the Money in the World - Case study on individuals in the Forbes 400 list (not a single CFA)
Making a Good Brain Great - Dr. Dan Amen, brain health 101, solid.
LinkedIn used to have a books app so one could keep track of books they and others were reading. I used to have 100+ completed reads with my notes on a recommendation. They axed it, and such, I don’t recall a ton of the good books I’ve read.
DoW, respect. I can’t stand to read yet another lucky fckers tale of how they correctly guessed what the market would do, somehow were correct, and attribute it all to skill.
There’s a pretty good book out there only available on Kindle for 99 cents. I think it’s called “Morgenthal & Company”. It’s about a hypothetical investment bank and its struggles through the years.
I have a rule to never read books during the summer (and as I’m disciplined I never break it) but once Fall arrives Flash Boys will be the first book on my list. I’ve heard positive reviews.
Great book that gets you thinking. I don’t agree with everything Taleb says, but there are some valuable ways to think about problems included. Anti-Fragile and Fooled by Randomness are better, though. Fooled is actually a brilliant read.
